[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grow a backbone, OP. Not much time before September, so start NOW. Every. Single. Day.

Pacifier is for the bed. Period. Get used the the meltdowns. You ain’t seen nothing yet.

I suspect she’s over-stressed. You need to look at her environment and daily routines to see what’s causing her all this stress. Lack of consistent and secure parenting can be the culprit. Is her father any help?[/quote]

Hi, so are you suggesting continuing the paci for naps/overnight instead of cold turkey? This is what I'm trying to figure out in terms of approach.

She is a super happy, joyful kid and does not show other signs of stress. DH is an amazing, energetic dad to her. She's home with me aside from 2 days per week of daycare (which she loves).[/quote]
I don’t know your daughter, but generally speaking I would limit the pacifier to the bed.

Sucking is a way to unwind and calm down. If she needs it, you have to either reduce that need or give her other options to calm down.[/quote]
